What do you think of Mikey Edward and Mia Rose?

Not sure if Edward sounds too traditional with Mikey but it is my fil's middle name and would like to use it as his first name definitely doesn't fit.

I agree Michael Edward gives him far more options as an adult.
Mia Rose is sweet and lovely.

I agree that Michael on the bc is a good idea, he might just want to be Mick or Mike when he is older. Mia Rose is nice :)

Lovely apart from Mikey Micheal would be much better

And as much as I like the name, Mia is in the '20 pegs at nursery will have the same name' category imo

Please remember you are naming a person not a baby or child or a pet

Edward is a lovely name, Michael too is fine. Mikey?........no.

Mia Rose, extremely dull. Ten a penny.

I agree that you should use Michael as his full name, just to give him some choice of nicknames when older. Plus having a full name to shout is useful when he's climbing on the furniture/legging it across the park. My older 2 know that they're in trouble when I use their full names.

DS2 was almost Michael, shortened to Mikey. Changed our minds when we realised that, with DS1 being Nicholas, we could have ended up with a Nick and Mick.

Hate calling a child a name and then shortening it to another one so Michael is out. What's wrong with Mikey??

How about Michael Edward for the bc & then shorten Michael to Mikey for every day use. Edward does go beautifully with Michael.

I would say rather that you should use Micah or Michael rather than Mikey. Imagine when your lovely baby boy is 35 years old. Give him a real name ffs.

Mia Rose is fine.

All good except mikey. It's dreadful
